Is the GTX 1070 still good? My local store is going bankrupt so have it for £220, I'd be upgrading from my 290x. I'm just worried my 8GB of DDR4 RAM would bottleneck it at higher settings.

Yeah it's still a dope card that'll play new games on good settings for a few years, i'd say go for it at that price.

I'm using a 1660ti with 8GB ddr3 without issues and that's pretty much the same

>1080p 60fps all you need is RX580, that's just for the newest games.
assuming you want to lower settings and have a mediocre experience that you'd avoid by simply not cheaping out on a good video card in the first place

I unironically recommend a 1080 ti at least. That way you can maintain 60+ fps even with MSAA turned all the way up in most games, like GTA V.

In Assassin's Creed you can get away with ultra volumetric clouds as well.

Oh fuck man that must've been way expensive when it was new, my god.

I need a new CPU that can do VR well and won't make me broke.

case is cringe. get a p300. doesnt have the gay snake thing.

PC gaming is a niche for NewEgg geeks who never focus on gaming. All of you just play fortnite on loop while browsing forums to fix all the errors that take place in your unoptimized games since all devs think of pc last. Its why your always hacked online and always get delayed releases. You still cant play red dead 2 or kh3. I remember waiting 3 years to just play one of the netherrealm fighting games. Pc is fucking stupid and it craves the console experience. I always have to go in bug box mode n hook up the superior xbox controller to make things tolerable.

>I am worried about is it breaking suddenly
Why would it? Worst casse scenario you'll have to lift the lid and reapply thermal paste, but even that takes years. I have the same CPU at 4.1Ghz and run everything fine 1440p+ with a 1070.

I need some tips for building a $600-$800 PC for my cousin's kid. He's probably gonna play Fortnite mostly. I haven't built a PC in a few years. Should I go AMD for this?

I play with a controller on PC too, but I do it at 144Hz. No messing with settings or anything, it just works.

Budget wise and just for shit like that? Yes.

>fortnite
just get him a phone

I just did replace my thermal paste a few weeks ago and cleaned the PC as I installed a new GPU, I dunno I just kind of expect some capacitor to suddenly pop

apparently my PSU is god tier though so maybe I am fine

I think he has an Xbox One right now, so basically he'd want something as powerful as an Xbox One X, which is about as powerful as my computer now but this thing was $1200 many years ago and I upgraded it some so no idea what parts are what now.
I'm not really sure why he wants a computer when his Xbox One is gonna play it not much worse. He probably plays other games too though.

Pretty standard stuff.

Yes, 2x8 3200.

Well, my current monitor supports 75hz which is some extra load, and yeah, experiencing 100+ fps superiority over console peasants seems really tempting.

1080 and 2070 are basically in the same price and performance range but finding a 1080 these days is huge pain in the ass.

GTX1060 is slightly more powerful, 580 I think would be similiar on AMD's side. CPU wise and mid range Ryzen beats XBone handedly since Jaguar is crap and won't bottleneck a 1060/580. 8GB of RAM will be fine too if console spec is what you're aiming at.

This.
That piece of shit showed me that my CPU was at 90c idle, causing me to panic and take it apart to reapply paste. It was still cold to the touch when I did that so I realized it just straight up lied to me.
Should've checked with another program or bios first desu.
Deleted that garbage right then and never looked back since.

Still running everything on high-ultra so idc lol

So I'm running a Ryzen 7 1700, a GTX 1080 and 16 gigs of Ram. Is it worth upgrading my processor? I feel like I'm not getting everything I can out of my GTX because of it

Bought an i5 4460 with a 730 (DDR3 :[) and 8GB back in 2014 for TF2. Currently have a 1060 6GB in there, 12GB ram, 500GB SSD and will soon upgrade to a Xeon 1230 v3. It's enough for 1080p/high for most games, I struggle with some games so I am getting the new CPU now.

No and you aren't being bottlenecked by it.

>NVMe SSD for gaming
It will be the same than a SATA SSD when it comes to loading times.

>I9-9900K but no mention of screen or GPU
Get a R7 2700X instead if you are doing render and CAD work.
>WD RED
Might aswell buy/build a NAS.

And you'd still be stuck with haslel

>1080ti

Based retard, there's no need to get a 1080ti for 1080p60fps.
The best course of action is to get a used 580 or 1060 6GB and then just upgrade next year or whenever there's some better and cheaper AMD cards if user can't run games at high/60 anymore.

>In Assassin's Creed you can get away with ultra volumetric clouds as well.

You cannot see the difference between medium and high/ultra volumentric lighting/clouds during gameplay, there's no reason to choose anything above low/medium in any game.

>Xeon 1230 v3
Unless you are getting that for $20 or less a I7-4770/4790 would be a better idea.

Speccy was last updated in 2016 before the dev team was bought by avast and stopped development for it, it cant read Ryzen CPU temperature sensor so it takes the motherboard temperature sensor which is always higher.

Your FX-6300 is bottlenecking you.

Get a 1660Ti if you are doing 1080p@60FPS, the RTX is overkill for that and overpriced, get a SSD instead and/or a better screen with the money.

i5 4690 and GTX 1080. Going to upgrade to Ryzen 3

Literally any new CPU.

Remove the 212 evo, remove the arctic silver 5, remove the 2200G and get a 2600, get a 650W PSU, 750W is overkill.

Haswell CPUs aren't terrible in 2019 as long as you're on an i7. I realize even a modern i5 would be better than an older i7, but considering you can get them for next to nothing it's still a good deal.

That would be a sidegrade, not a real upgrade, try Ryzen 5 instead.

Getting one for 80 Euro ($90?). Pretty much all 4770 you find online are 110+ and k versions are like another 20 on top.
My motherboard doesn't support overclocking and considering the 1230 v3 is roughly the same as the 4770 I don't mind. It's gonna be a huge upgrade from my i5.
If I had the money I'd just build a new PC altogether and throw my 1060 in there.

>80 Euro
Not sure about europe prices but $90 for a haswell Xeon sounds really expensive, and unless you really do stuff that uses hyperthreading properly then its not really worth it.
Still it would be a small upgrade from the I5-4460(5-10% better), up to you if its worth it $90.

Both 1660s are fucking memes.

So is the whole Turing line, sadly those are the only 2 GPUs that make sense currently.

What about gaming laptops? Are they still meme-tier?

Monitor 2: Samsung U28E590D 4K 60Hz

That's about it. Won't need to upgrade for a good 5 years for the GPU, 7-10 for the CPU

Define meme.
Anyway gaming laptops come with huge amount of problems, mostly heat related and stupidly expensive.
You get the same performance from a $500 PC than a $1400 laptop, but the PC will last between 5 and 8 years and the gaming laptop 1-2, and you can upgrade the desktop easy or fix it, meanwhile once the laptop is dead that is it.

For 20 bucks you'll get a 10 y/o Xeon. If you want a used 1230 v3 that's gonna cost you at least 90 here considering the 4770 goes for 110+.
A bunch of games really need the extra threads (Infinite Warfare, BF1) and I can't afford to upgrade to Ryzen or build a whole new PC.

Also it's not just 9%.
Here for example cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4790-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4460/2293vs2310 it says it's 17% when in reality you're gonna really struggle in modern games with an i5 and even just a stock 4790. 30-40fps in BF1 in heavy battle vs 70+ on the i7. I am selling my 4460 afterwards, so it's a 50 euro upgrade.

and even just a stock 4790 will improve performance a lot*.

Yeah as I said it's 9 %(7, my bad), but it's a 4770 equivalent. The 1230 v3, 4770 and 4790 all have 4c8t and you'll get a lot of out those in modern games. Clockspeed is slightly better on the 4770 (by 200mhz) and the k version is also slightly higher clocked by default. I am not after clockspeed, I am after 8 threads. If I were after clockspeed I'd get a new motherboard and buy a 4790k and sell my old stuff.
youtu.be/u_Mk5fKql7g

>Based retard, there's no need to get a 1080ti for 1080p60fps.
Why?

Because anything below it wont maintain consistent 60+ fps at maximum settings with current and future AAA games.

Did I not mention that? Should I mention that "high settings" in 2019 is merely one step up from low and two steps down from Ultra/ three steps down from Extreme?

Do I need to mention modern titles look like shit at high settings when considering the the amount of graphical enhancements modern games possess?

Do I need to mention 60 fps counts when it's consistent, and doesn't drop once you've entered dense areas of foliage, populations, and buildings with tessellation?

Based peasant. keep your "performance/budget ratio" cope to yourself.

If you care to have a potentially fulfilling experience with any of the newest and upcoming releases on ultra at 1080p60fps, buy, at least, a 1080 ti.

If you want to play tf2, or WoW or don't mind gaming with console-tier graphics in 2019 on PC, buy a new lower quality vidya chipset for the same price of a used 1080 ti in decent condition.

I understand. You are all casuals. You build gaming PCs only to say you can. To larp as if you're apart of the "le epec master race xD".

In reality, if your ego didn't drive you into unironically shitting on consoles because they're mainstream, the shit graphics from them would be wholly sufficient to you.

And do you want to know how I know you're casuals? Because actual PC enthusiasts wouldn't even be having this discussion. They'd recommend, at least, a 1080 ti for this current generation of gaming especially with the announcement of Navi and Nvidia potentially releasing a newer RTX series in 2020. The 10 series will seriously under perform in the next 4 years, if not phased out and unsupported entirely.

At least the 1080 ti will allow for almost guaranteed 60+ fps ultra in 1080p and at least 60 fps should one ever decide to upgrade to 1440p.

The only thing that should prevent an informed and hardware savvy person from buying a 1080ti is their wallets. Fortunately you can get an overclocked 1080ti for a little under the price of a 1070.

>the difference between ultra and very high shadows is non existent to naked eye most of the time
>t. casual who can't afford to render ultra shadows real time above 60fps

Ultra settings are a meme and high only needs so much to get working. No one buys 1080s let alone 1080tis. I have an autistic friend who bought one for 1080p144 but that's it. If you want 1080p/60, get a mid-range card and if you want 144fps or higher resolutions you get a high end card and buy a new one as soon as the new ones come out, future proofing for GPUs doesn't exist. Normal people will not drop $500+ on a x80 card to have it for 5+ years and enthusiasts won't keep the same card for 5 years either when they can easily buy a new one next gen.

Considering you can get a 580/1060 for around $140 used (if not less) nothing right now is worth it. You'd have to find a 1660 ti for less than $190 for it to be just as good in price/perf.
Those 2 cards are the best bang for your buck right now, everything else isn't worth it.

Okay retard.

Another 8GB RAM stick for dual channel over anything, that is it.

pc enthusiasts a decade ago on /g/ were saying 560ti is the best video card ever for being best bang for your buck gpu on the market. today's faggot shills tell you to buy top of the line shit every time without questioning it. pretty funny.

When are they suppose to be dropping?

I'd be upgrading from a 1060 6gb, not to one. 1660 ti is hardly a bump fro what I currently have and wouldn't expect something under a 2060 to be worth the cost.

All SSDs are easy to install, its literally screw and connect.

>I'd be upgrading from a 1060 6gb, not to one.

Yeah I know Sherlock, I can read. All I said was that the price to performance ratio is undeniable the best when it comes to both the 1060 6GB and 580 4GB/8GB. Nothing on the market has a better ratio.

1660 ti is around 30% faster than the 1060GB but costs almost double (used 1060 vs new 1660 ti).
A Vega 64 used STILL isn't better price/performance wise unless you find it for very cheap and the same goes for all other cards. You'd have to find a super cheap 1070 or 1080.

>When are they suppose to be dropping?
June together with Ryzen 3 in Computex.

>a i7

Yes, yes you are retarded.

Ah okay, i'll take your word for it i just figured the evo was going to be more expensive cuz the brand name. I'll go evo then. Im trying to keep a $500 budget or so, but i got wiggle room atm. I already have a 2tb hdd and a rx580 so i can save there

Pretty retarded, yes. Buy a 144hz monitor because 60hz is wasting that 1080ti's potential.

the intel chips are good user, its the i 9s that are made of hot steel.

What if you need the better performance?

Based retard.

go for the msi tomahawk instead vrms on gaming plus are garbage

Only reason why you'd need that is for high resolution or refresh rate gaming, those are already a luxury so you have to spend extra.

>Pretty retarded, yes. Buy a 144hz monitor because 60hz is wasting that 1080ti's potential.
Well champ you're implying I'm playing rocket league or some shit.

in city areas of Assassins Creed Odyssey max settings I get -60 fps. so i can only imagine with newer games the drop will be worst. a 1080 ti will bottleneck a 144hz monitor of any sorts soon

>vrms on gaming plus are garbage
They use the same VRM layout and controller than the B450 tomahawk.

Yes if you're retarded and play at ultra and/or play Ubishit games that run like asshole.

Opinions on the Asrock B450 Pro4?

intel i5 8400 2.8-4.0 GHz
Ram 8gb DDR4
gtx 1060 6gb
Asus TUF H310M-Plus Gaming DDR4 LGA 1151

ASRock makes shitty motherboards(Overclocking potential and durability wise) but they are cheap.

Is the durability an issue if i don't really plan on OCing?
It's not just gonna fall apart on me is it?

Anyone else experience stutters with rtx 20xx series?

He probably means 3rd gen Ryzen.

>Well champ you're implying I'm playing rocket league or some shit.
What you're doing is roughly the equivalent of buying an expensive sports car and shoving it into an old, dirty garage. If you're going to commit to a really good GPU don't half ass it.

Its a cheap motherboard, even if you don't OC it will die eventually.
You get what you pay.
If you want something good look for MSI B450 Tomahawk.

i5-4440
8 gb single channel RAM
GTX 970
250 Gb SSD
1TB HDD

Only thing is the RAM, might consider upgrading it, but meh, not really interested in the games that seem to need the higher specs. I think this build will last me another 4 years.

Hmm maybe i'll buy that down the line i guess, or the B550 versions once that comes out.

Just buy a 4GB stick for $15 user.

>it will die eventually

I have a cheapass Asus B85M and nothing has happened in 5 years. Nothing will happen to the MB unless you're dumb enough to buy cheap Chinese ones, for like 40 bucks or less.

How much of a difference does it make?

Won't do anything, dual channel doesn't work for different sizes.

The ASRock B85 motherboards were good, they were used for low power stuff and way better than the shitty ASUS "office"/CSM motherboards and the MSI B85 PC amte

Dual channel makes a huge difference when it comes to gaming.

The fuck are you talking about, you can get Dual channel with 4+2GB and 8+4GB.

A 4th gen i5 will NOT last 4 years, it's already dying as we speak. Same goes for your 970 and 8GB ram.

Dual channel doesn't work with different sizes, retard. It will do nothing, you'll have 12GB of shit ram.

Cope.

There is a reason you get 2 sticks of RAM when you are building a PC and not one.
And with APUs its even bigger since they use RAM as VRAM.

So is it a matter of "more stick the better" or is better to have 2 than 4?

Yes retard, cause they're in dual channel then. It's twice the transfer rate.

R8 and H8 on my Rainbow bitch. Yes my monitors are shit but I got em for cheap and fucking 27inch 1440p freesyncs never go on sale here.

Attached: Big gay bitch.jpg (720x960, 492K)

No, just 2 is better than 1.
In normal CPUs you wont see benefit from using 4 sticks because they don't support Quad channel mode, only 2 Dual channel mode, reason why the RAM slots in the motherboards are always 2 different colors.
Its actually worse to use 4 if you are overclocking your RAM, if you aren't and you are running them at stock speed you will just gain the benefit of more RAM but not more performance.

Dual channel is way faster than single channel, quad channel requires a very high end CPU to make the most of it and isn't as huge as a jump as single to dual is. youTube some videos and see for yourself. Open world games especially benefit as they cull 24/7.

Case offers plenty of airflow. The Video card doesn't even have the fans on 90% of the time due to auto idle hence the 51c on Speccy. Usually low 40s if I turn it off.

Hold on .. I need to pull that wire off and...

Attached: 134567876876.jpg (640x480, 55K)

Get a 1660Ti instead, same price and performs better.
Yes they are better.

Also check if you have the PSU to power it first, if its 500W or more then you are good.
If its 450W or lower then don't.

230V is not a lethal dose of voltage, right?

Sticking the pins in your ass?

Amperage is what matters, it could be 1000v but if its 0.01A it doesnt matter.

Speaking out of experience?

Just seemed like an app question, why the fuck would the voltage matter if you're not sticking the fucking pins in your mouth?

It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the current.
The bad news is 0.1 amps to kill someone.
If you get shocked you're basically fucked

1660ti is terrible value.

used 1060/580 = $140 if not cheaper
1660 ti which is only 30% faster = 75-100% more expensive.

What should I upgrade my i5 3570k (4.5ghz) too? I can spend around 400-500 on mobo/ram/cpu. This cpu lasted me years but it's starting to struggle on newer games

I thought it was the most boring fucking game ever, and only really played it to get better at aiming with my mouse

there is enough base performance difference to go with the x version, especially when you should be overclocking. even a cheap $45 cooler will let you push the clock speed further, it would be stupid not to. if the difference between x and non x is only $40, why wouldn't you?

The 970.
A SSD maybe.

>SFF
Look for a ATX Thinkcentre instead, this way you can upgrade the PSU to a good one if you ever need it.

Also $230 is way too expensive for a Optiplex.

I wouldn't, but swap the OS to an SSD if you do decide to.

i7-2600K that I bought 8 years ago and still going strong, but I ordered an i9-9900k along with a RTX2060 that I got two months ago.
It's a lot of dosh to spend at once, but if it lasts for as long as my previous rig, then I'm alright with that.

Buy $80 thinkcentre with a 2nd gen I5, put a 240GB SSD like BX500 and get 4-8GB RAM for it.
Done.

How much does RAM speed really matter? Should I be jewed out of £30 just to go from DDR4 at 2400mhz to 3000mhz?

Have an msi 970 mobo with
An 8320 cpu and a
1070 rog strix, all on windows 8.1.
Never overclocked, too fearful.

I wanna upgrade my cpu, but then i'd have to change the mobo, ram, and the os, and I am deathly terrified of windows 10.
I just wanna play doom eternal and halo at max when they come out, but still can't decide between 2600x and 2700. And the windows 10 thing scares me too.
What should i do?

Matters if you're on Poozen and the extra cost would be better put towards Intel instead.

Unlike DDR3, DDR4 speed matters a lot, specially if you use Ryzen.
Just get 3000MHz RAM, brand doesnt matter as long you dont get Chinese name tier RAM since only Samsung, Crucial and SKHynx make RAM.

Which will be slower than 2666 with better timings. Mention that.

I'm using an i5 6600k overclocked to 4.1Ghz. So play it safe anyway?

1660 has actually been getting the same specs most parts the only thing rtx 2060 is worth is for the ray tracing meme

It matters in intel CPUs too.

Get a 2600 and a MSI B450 Tomahawk.
Sell RAM or reuse it and motherboard can be sold for a high price because AM3+ motherboards love to die randomly so there is always a high demand, i doubt anyone would buy the CPU but you never know.
Install Windows 10 LTSB or LTSC if W10 bothers you that much which is windows 10 without the bloatware.
There is always the option to dualboot linux and you have stuff like Linux Mint which is linux for retards for those who dont wanna learn to use Linux and want something that works out the box.

If you already have slow RAM then its not worth replacing.

I'm on 2x4GB DDR4 at 2400 now. I was upgrading to 2x8GB since some games are chewing RAM like it's nothing.

Thanks man. Gonna give the old parts to my father so he can play the games he wanted( old tomb raiders, final fantasys, etc)

bros i just want to be able to push ffxiv to max settings at 4k and stay above 60fps consistently for Shadowbringers.
nobody's capable of telling me what to do it seems.
i'm building my first PC and trying to stay under 2k$, but my limit is 3k.
someone just tell me if this build could do it easily/reliably:
intel i7-8700k
16gb ram DDR4-2133
RTX 2070

if it's not enough, what do i need to make it enough? the 2080ti, another graphics card, or a better processor?

if it is more than enough, what could i do to save some money, i feel like the 2070 might be overkill for what i'm looking for.

I got an Asus S510ur, it has an 8th gen i5, 8gb of ram and a gt 930m or something like that.
What games can I play with this? The Witcher holds up at 30fps and medium settings and Tekken 7 is steady 60fps 720p at medium settings
Also, is Game Pass worth it for Windows? I saw the list and the games available for Windows are very limited

I've been living like a poorfag for the last two years but I finally decided to spice up my life and change my 10 years old rig.
I'm just worried about having to reinstall everything and set everything up like it was. I can't just transfer my windows install because it's an oem version, and I want a clean install anyway.
Can I just set the bios to boot on my new SSD with the new win10 install and then add my old SSD and HDD with my previous OS without breaking everything?

Attached: Capture.jpg (365x149, 14K)

Get a R7 2700 or R5 2600 with a MSI B450.
Get 3000MHz RAM.
And not really with a 1660Ti you would get 45 FPS average with dips to 30 in intensive stuff at 4K so the 2070 does make sense, still you should wait to see what new GPUs come out soon.

Poozen makes you give up lots of gaming performance and forces you to spend extra on b-die meme ram. Ignore this cuck.

Why don't you try backing up everything through google drive and Mega and then use system restore.
You can also get a bootable USB with your OS and use the native system restore function. Both Ubuntu and Windows have that

Probably going to get a new case too, but I want one of those fat/box cases instead of a tower. Any suggestions?

Also windows doesnt like to go from a chipset to another so you have 2 options.
Reinstall or create a image with sysprep if you really want to avoid reinstalling programs but you should for long term use.

The 2060 is useless because the 1660Ti is a thing.

Yeah I feel like it's a good jump to make. I have 0 complaints about my meme70 and if the 2070 can last as long with running high settings, I'll be good for another 5 years or so.

Most of the 3000MHz RAM is CL15, if you want lower timings you will have to go full autistic with the timings in BIOS.

My SSD on the other hand is full of programs and drivers and things I probably don't need, they're remnants from my old win7 OS that was upgraded to win10, it's full of shit I'm not exactly sure if I had to keep so it'll be nice to start over.

>Want to upgrade the CPU but don't know which one to get.
Wait for the Ryzen 3rd gen.

The 2600X can work with a 2060 with no problems and the upgrade from a RX 580 to a 2060 is not that big to justify the price.

1660ti but RTX series might be the one that get the most support for new features in the future.
Although, they just released raytracing for older cards but it could just be a way to promote their RTX given how shit it runs on those gpus.

>M2 860
Why not 2.5"? its cheaper.

Only 2 games have full RTX support and only one game has planned to add RTX support this year.
Raytracing is a gimmick and you know that well.

>Why not 2.5"? its cheaper.
because I don't know jack shit about SSDs and got what seemed decetn

M2 is just a form factor.
There are SATA and NVMe SSDs.
A M2 SATA SSD will perform the same than a 2.5" SSD.
It doesnt matter which one you get when it comes to a SSD like the 860 EVO, you just pay $4-5 more.

M2 is the form factor, which doesn't matter by itself. I assume you got the NVMe connection type. This connection type is faster than SATA, but only for really big files. If you're constantly moving movies or large games around, you want the NVMe connection. If you're just a normal person doing normal things, go with the typical SATA connection.

860 EVO is a SATA SSD, and there is a difference outside big files but you only will see it in Server and enterprise use or video editing.
For windows and games they perform exactly the same.

>Raytracing is a gimmick and you know that well.
I know it is, it's only there to kickstart the new series but I'm talking about future gimmicks they'll make exclusive to RTX cards.

Have they said anything about when it might come out

I just got this for 350. I'm a budget gamer so i thought it was a good deal. Should be able to run plenty of games once I get a new GPU for it.

guys I want to upgrade my gpu, but my monitor only supports 144hz through dvi-d. newer gpus don't have dvi-d. help

I just went from the 760 to a 2060 and it’s great

Do you anons think Cyberpunk will come out before the next cycle of cards? I'm predicting cyberpunk either this fall or next spring but I'm retarded

Next GPUs will be announced at Computex, there you will see when they will come out.

No memes lads, is it actually worth paying an extra 80 dollarydoos for W10 pro? Looking at upgrading my cpu and need that fresh install.

No, anyone that says otherwise literally doesn’t look at any benchmarks. Difference between 1-2 fps

Don't pay full price for windows. You can get keys very cheaply from resellers.

If it runs on current gen consoles, then it'll run just fine on current GPU, and the ones before, and the ones before those even.

Forces updates say hi.

Fucking benQ, I ran into the same issue when I got my 2060 and ended up getting a AOC 2460pf or something for the displayport alone, and it does gsync too so it's cool I guess.
So now I have this new one at 144hz on displayport and the benQ at 60hz on HDMI, rip.

It's constantly brought up as an issue but it's never been one for me so far.

That is a shitty answer

DVI-D is digital so you can do native/passive Displayport to DVI with no problems.

It hurts, it's starting to show it's age a little especially since I changed monitors.
I almost feel trapped since I have 64GB of RAM where if I did a new build it'd be almost exclusively for gaming.

I gotta ask, when is integer scaling finally going to make it's way to the GPU/monitor market. It physically hurts that I can't just run things in 720p without a scaled mess, tiny window or huge input lag.

>paying for windows 10
Just pirate it, very easy and safe unless you are a brainlet who clicks on latestwindows10crackbyhax0r99totallynotransomware.exe. Look up hwidgen.

Just get a new GPU and OC the CPU.
You can reuse youe DDR4 RAM.

And why the fuck did you thought a mid end GPU was good enough for 1440@165Hz?

Just take the good parts out of your old PC like your RAM and put them towards a new PC. A 1070TI is still a very solid GPU. Perhaps pick up a new CPU? That seems to be the only weak part of the build I see, and it's not even that weak.

>Watercooling in a ATX case
Everything else its ok, old but still good.

Is using Linus Tech Tips holiday buyer guide reasonable? I will post pic of the specs. Thinking of upgrading to a 2080 GPU. I will have the money to blow next year when I start work full time. I just wanna game at 1440p 120hz. Please no bully, this is my first ever build and I am fairly green. I'm not trolling if it comes off that way either.

What HDD should I pick in addition to SSD to store shit like movies, music, memes and porn?
Thinking about 2TB WD Red, but it's just 5400 rpm. Will it feel too slow?

With 2GB more VRAM which is starting to become a premium, especially with next gen coming. Turing or not that extra 2GBs of VRAM make it way more useful.

5400 is fine if it's just for media. Gaming? You'll definitely notice a huge difference between 5400 to 7200.

I have a 1070ti with a similar monitor and a 4690k. Does well for the most part but it may be the stuff I play. Feel a lot of people on Yea Forums tend to want to upgrade without understanding why.

>1060 6gb
>7600k

most games today are shit, I see no reason to upgrade for quite some time if ever again

Whats your guys opinion on AMD Navi? I think they might be dope and just 150-250$

No, just get a WD Blue.
WD Reds are for NAS or really paranoid situations.
RPM speed is more related to random read speeds rather tan sequential speeds, which don't matter at all in a media storage drive.

Shit bait

Ok parts, shitty prebuilt.

>2TB
Just get a 2TB wd blue for media, it's 5400rpm though. Or get a seagate baracuda 2TB, it's faster at similar price.

Isn't it still gonna be fucked due to it being held back by GCN? I'm hoping since Ryzen isn't the worst thing ever they'll make decent GPUs too.

>why the fuck did you thought a mid end GPU was good enough for 1440@165Hz?
I didn't, I was going to be going for 1080/240 but ended up going for 1440 because an IPS panel was more flexible for my work at the time. OC'ing the CPU hasn't given me much more at 4.7GHz.

>Perhaps pick up a new CPU? That seems to be the only weak part of the build I see, and it's not even that weak.
If I was just gaming at 60hz or playing non HRR titles then yeah it wouldn't be that weak. I'm just not sure if it's worth the cost of a new motherboard/CPU only to then be bottlenecked by RAM.

The value of spending so much more for a slightly more stable experience is the issue I guess.

Ye, it does well in AAA stuff if you're not pushing 165+ constantly, stays cool with a hybrid cooler too. I'm pretty sure my 6700k & 2800Mhz clock speed on my RAM is my main bottleneck now.

I'm looking to make an mini-itx build for when I travel.
I'm thinking about using the CM Elite 110. However has anyone here traveled with a pc in carryon? I know people take consoles in carryon to avoid the destruction that faces them in checked luggage. But how will it work in carryon since I know they have weight limits for carryon. Do you guys have a better case recommendation?

Why is your CPU so warm?

As much im against them, a MSI or Lenovo gaming laptop would fit your needs.
Just look for something with a huge heatsink, also independent heatsinks, if the GPU and CPU share heatpipes then its a shit model.

Also that it will use a low end PSU.

4690k oc
1070 8gb
16gb ram

plays just fine in most games. will need to upgrade the processor within a year though. it feels shit though because i've always kept my pc hardware in pristine condition so my mobo and stuff looks mint condition and the pc works just fine for shitposting and all that (it's actually overkill for most of the stuff i do) so knowing i have to replace it in a year feels like i'm wasting money even though i'm really not. i'd be more happy if my mobo suddenly breaks because i'll have an actual legit reason to upgrade other than just vidya.

To be fair, if the dude's a pleb then he's never going to notice if it just works. If he ain't gonna hit it with a fat overclock then you're bitching for no reason.
You're going to make fun of him? Make fun of him for being a RAMlet or being 1080/60, or having the space to only save 5 JPG's and an xvid rip.

Find real reasons to mock a build, not just some reddit tier shit. You're just acting at being shit tier elitists right now.

house fire

Just sell it or give it another use?
You will have to get rid of the RAM too so someone could use it.

Up to you. They're fine nowadays.

Attached: 207653755683.jpg (554x439, 37K)

honestly with the predictions of the next gen consoles and how the consoles always become the baseline for game development i think this pc will be outdated completely within a couple years anyway so i might just keep it for a couple years and then upgrade to the latest and greatest hardware around that time. my pc is only 4 cores 4 threads and the ps5 has 8 cores 16 threads that's why i need to upgrade the cpu soon.

so vivaldi's been running like shit for the past few months and I'm finally done with it.

should I go back firefox or pale moon or whatever? need some suggestions.

you're going to have to spend another $80 on another 8gb of ddr3. also that processor is locked and is 5 years old. literally ancient technology compared to stuff like ryzen/intel 9th gen nowadays.

I want to get ssd on my PC, should I two separate ssd's, one for os and one for vidya + hdd file dumpster, or one ssd would be enough?

Too expensive, that is $250-300 tops.
For $500 you can get something new and better.

Anyway still for $500 a Haswell i5 and a GTX 1060 is bad, hell 4x2GB RAM is $25 and a I5-4460 is $40-60 and used 1060 6GB are around $150.

why did you reply to me?

Hope you're willing to either put a filter in your pump, or be willing to disassemble it to clear out all of the bits of copper rust

Not that guy or a water cooling chad but wouldn't you use some kind of inhibitor to prevent rust?

ill take the cpu and ram for shipping cost :)))

Just jumped into this thread to say my 970 is still kicking just as good since i got it 4.5 years ago

if you dont pirate LTSC you're an enormous faggot

i5 6600k and a RTX2060. Games look great and hoping this can push me through into next gen at Med Settings at 1080p

How's Corsair's PSUs? My evga died and while I'm sure the warranty will work I'm not waiting 2 weeks over a hundred bucks

My Corsair PSU's still going strong from almost a decade ago, So much so that I got another when I got a 2nd PC and retired it into the other.
It's still alive and kicking. They also have some models with a silent mode which is pretty great for quiet operation.

Not sure about the competition nowadays.

>80+ PSU, low quality HEC rebrand that is actually a 400W PSU instead the advertised 500W
>Reference 1070 or single fan 1070 options
>Only one exhaust fan and no intake fan
>Nico based VRM

So yea, low quality motherboard and PSU.
Welcome to Prebuilts and HP in general.

Not the best quality but they will work, avoid their low end line though.
This days they rebrand from Seasonic and Greatwall and use whatever cheap Chinese model they can find for their low end PSUs.
Look for Seasonic PSUs instead or a EVGA G2 or G3.

The G3 850w is what failed on me. I'd get another but it was 99 when I got it and its 180 now.

Any idea if the Corsair RM850x 850 a rebranded shitter PSU?

Generally the RM line is good, but check out Jonnyguru before you buy anything. It's the best website out there for PSU reviews, and the reviewer really knows his stuff.

>1080p
ok
>60 fps
why wouldn't you just play console at that point? If you're playing 1080p then you should be using a 144hz monitor to get high frames, ya know, like, the main benefit of pc gaming

>RM850x
Rebranded from a CWT PSU.
>Dual/Y power PCIe cable
Its shit for any GPU that uses more than a 8 pin power slot.

Also why do you need a 850W PSU? 2 GPUs? Vega 64?

SLI has been shit, but I want the option of SLI invade they unshit it up. I'm still using two 970s but I'm probably going one 2080 once the price tanks

use it for 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz. 8 GB of RAM for gaming is fine 16 GB is a meme unless you need it for productivity or keep 20 tabs of HD porn open while you play

Also i forgot to mention just because it was rebranded from another model it doesnt mean its bad, just look at EVGA for example they rebrand from Superflower models which are the best around.
Seasonic is one of the fews that makes their own PSUs.

The RM850X is a 7/10 PSU, the whole capacitor in cable is a horrible idea but the PSU itself is not that bad.

>I dont know what the fuck im reading
How they handle shit, less noise = better.

>two 40 GB 2.5'' SSD's
literally why. Not even worth the extra cable management to keep them in there

Half the games on console are lucky to hit a consistent 30.

I also had a G3 fuck up on me lol. The replacement has been fine for 2 years though.

And just in case if you wonder what makes EVGA PSUs so popular:
techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/SuperNOVA_G2_650/9.html

>keep 20 tabs of HD porn open while you play
Isn't it the whole point of PC gaming?

I've been on an 2600k and 290x for years now. I'm hoping Zen2 and Navi will deliver, if not I guess I'll go with a 9700k and a 2080.

Still not a problem if it never goes above the advertised clock speeds and the user doesn't need to. Reference 1070 is fine as well as long as the user conforms to it, there's poorfags on 1060's and less. As long as that son'bitch isn't thermal throttling or cooking itself then it's golden.
You're being elitist for the sake of being elitist here, the hardware served it's purpose. Prebuilts are kinda shit, ye we know but you're going way above and beyond to try and prove your superiority complex.

My computer case is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro. I'm considering getting an SSD soon and also overclocking my CPU, but I doubt I will. Shit runs all games just fine for now.

This isn't like Apple at all, you're just trying to be elitist but failing at it because you have no standards. There's so much more you can nitpick on the system. You're complaining about the fucking VRM when the user's running a stock 7700.

I thought you were just being retarded ironically

ASUS does too.

Galax?

GPU when a decent one comes out.
And in order to get a good CPU you have to get a new motherboard (You can't use a Coffee lake with a Z170/B150 motherboard) so it will be more expensive so leave that for latter, best CPU you can get right now is a I7-7700 which is not exactly the biggest upgrade.

Which motherboard you got?
If Haswell then get a Xeon or a I7 for cheap.
If AM3 then yeah you will need a whole new build.
